Board of Directors Report
Peter Gilbert, President, SCLH Board of Directors
Yes, it will be another busy year for
your Association.
Your hardworking Staff, Committees
and Board will continue to work toward
making this an even better place to live
and grow for all of us.
First let me take this opportunity to
thank all of the candidates who ran for
•

•
•
the Board of Directors. And to those
who were elected I look forward to
working with you during my last year
on the Board. Congratulations!
Here are some of the important issues/projects that the Association will
be working on during the next few
months:
Holding an open meeting to consider what to do with the
excess funds leftover from the 2010 Budget. To be sched-
uled sometime in March.
Consider the concept of making an investment in LED
lighting for all street and parking lot illumination. A major
investment with some outstanding returns for our community if the project makes both economic and practical
sense for our community.
Establishing a Clearing House concept to consider new
ideas and investments. They can be proposed by community residents, staff, committees and groups and in an open
workshop forum so all can contribute to the overall decision-making process. March timeframe.
What to do with reserve funds targeted to replace furniture, carpets and other items scheduled for Meridians.
These and many other important issues will be considered by your Association Staff, Committees and your elected
Board in the next several months.
Watch for notices in the Compass, on
the Website and on the Lodge Bulletin
Board for dates and times.
As always your Board wants and
needs your input so that we can make
the best decisions on how to spend our
precious dollars and move forward. It
is our desire to keep Lincoln Hills the
best place to live. With your help we
can make that happen.
Attention Bocce Players
Bocce Courts 1-8 at the Sports Pavilion will be resurfaced

Something new for 2011: Chris
O’Keefe will be giving periodic updates
of activities in his areas of responsibility. Below is his first installment.
Bob Cook
An Improved
Swimming Experience
for Residents & More
Chris O’Keefe, Senior Director of Facilities
& Maintenance
n behalf of the men and women
of the Facilities Team, I’d like
to take a minute to provide our
residents with an update of current and
upcoming projects:
We have recently completed the installation of
salt water chlorine generators in all of our pools and
spas. We believe that this
will go a long way towards
improving the swimming
experience for our residents, as well
as reduce our operating costs. We have
also installed medium pressure UV light
systems in our indoor pools which help
to reduce chloramines levels, odors,
and eye irritation. To date the feedback
we have received from residents has
been very positive.
At the Orchard Creek Lodge we
have completed interior and exterior
painting and we have added new carpet
in the Billiards, Multimedia, and Computer Rooms.
The Catering office has undergone
a nice transformation with new carpet
and furniture as well.
The renovation of the rear service
area for Meridians is nearly complete.
The CMU wall (the concrete block
wall) has been modified to accept a
new gate, and a stand-alone door for
staff has been added. This work will
facilitate the installation of a new trash
compactor which will allow us to better
utilize the space we have, save money
on trash removal, and improve cleanliness in the service area.
In February we will complete the
final details for our 2011 grazing
schedule. Biologists will be conduct-
O
Ballots must be in by February 15
ing Open Space surveys during the
February-March timeframe in order to
complete the yearly Open Space monitoring report. You may notice some of
this activity on the Open Space areas.
Staff will survey the firebreak areas in
late February and we will put together
our firebreak mowing schedules for
the March-June timeframe. As we have
done for the past couple of years, we
will provide an early “courtesy cut” of
six-to-eight feet off the knee wall, and
then follow with a full 25-foot cut in
late April/early May.
The Facilities Team takes a tremendous amount of pride in how the
buildings and grounds look and how
they are maintained. My thanks go
out to my staff for their efforts and
dedication.
New Paint Book Makes Paint Selection a Snap
Bill Attwater, Architectural Review Committee Chair
By the time you read this article,
spring will be just around the corner.
Our records show that spring is the
time when home owners think about
repainting their beautiful homes. The
Architectural Review Committee (ARC)
has made selecting the right paint
scheme for your home even easier than
before. We have a new paint book with
over 130 paint schemes that make paint
selection a snap. We also have a new
and simplified paint checklist. And the
Community Standards staff is here to
help you with your decision.
You must do your part, however. In
selecting a paint scheme, try to choose
colors that harmonize with colors already existing on your home such as
roofing and stone work.
Use at least three colors of differ-
ent values and intensity. For example,
a light color would be used for the
body, a middle value color
for the trim and a darker
color for the accent doors
or shutters. The new paint
scheme book does all this
for you.
Finally and most importantly, always test your
color on a two-foot strip area on the
exterior of your home before buying
gallons of paint. Colors look very different from color sample cards when they
are viewed in natural sunlight or on a
dark cloudy day. Also colors appear
lighter on large surfaces than they do
on small samples. Paint stores now sell
small containers of paint for you to do
a color test.

Good News! Another Remarkable
Year in 2010
John Snyder, Finance Committee Chair
It is with sadness that I report that
Finance Committee member Michael
Drucquer passed away January 23. He
had been fighting valiantly a progressive
illness for years. The commitment and
dedication to the Association and its
financial health were vital to him. In the
four years on the Committee he missed
only one meeting and that due to hospitalization. His term on the Committee
ended in January and he was honored at
the January Board of Directors meeting.
His wife Virginia accepted Michael’s
Association service award. Also in attendance were Virginia’s sister and brother
in-law, Ellen and Claire Schloenvogr. His
contribution made a difference.
The Finance Committee met January
20, and received the December 2010
financials for the Association. At its
February 16 meeting, the Committee will
take action on the Association’s audited
financials for the year ended December
31, 2010. Presented below are the unaudited results for the month and year.
The final audited results will be reported
in the next Compass and the Association
will distribute this information to you,
Be Part of the ARC Team
The Architectural Review Committee
(ARC) has openings for residents with
landscaping and construction experience. As an ARC member you will review
applications for improvements — proposed changes to the exterior of the
applicant’s home, including landscape
plans, requests for new construction or
alterations to existing structures — and
decide if the proposed projects conform
to the Design Guidelines and the CC&Rs.
The ARC meets the second and fourth
Monday of every month at 9:00 AM. To
learn more, visit the ARC & Compliance
Corner on our website, www.lincolnsuncity.org. If interested, pick up a committee

Worse than budget: Administration
$52,800; Landscape $50,100; Maintenance $42,500; Activities $28,100; Food

you as these results are the product of

budget results for Activities $19,100 and
Spa at Kilaga Springs $2,500.
The $311,000 better than budget
result for the year 2010, represents a
remarkably small 2.3% variance from
the Association gross budget. One
should not determine from this small
variance that these results are in any
way automatic. The budgets are prepared at least four months before the
year begins and we all know how much
things change month to month. It is
only with significant effort, adaptation
and determination in seeking to deliver
the best product or service at the best
cost that these results can be attained.
Be sure and tell our managers and staff
how much you appreciate their efforts.

enjoys the fact that working out keeps
him in shape while feeling more energized and he still considers it a challenge to see how much he can do.
In a normal session, Wayne runs
several miles on the treadmill followed
by weight training and then finishes
with another one- or two-mile treadmill
run. His weight training includes free
weights, weight machines, stretching,
curls, dips, military presses — with situps between each one. This reporter
gets tired just watching Wayne work
out. Phew!
When not in the gym, Wayne and

being with their grandkids.

A Sense of Community
Gay Sprague
Often neighbors and friends say Sun
City Lincoln Hills represents the epitome of a warm, welcoming community,
like none they have experienced. I frequently find
myself saying to others
I have never felt such a
“sense of community” in
any place I’ve lived.“What
is “community”? Is it legacy, time, talent, a shared
faith that our needs will be met through
our commitment together?
Why did we move to Lincoln Hills?
We could have moved to any number
of places in or around Placer County,
where housing costs are less. Were we
looking for a new hobby, to make new
friends, join a club or committee? In a
nutshell, were we looking for the active
lifestyle Del Webb promised? Perhaps
we’re here for all of the above reasons
and more.
Looking Back
During the first five years, residents
moved here to be involved, have an
active lifestyle, contribute to and participate in the community. They helped
establish committees. The Ambassadors – the original movers/shakers/doers – assisted in helping new residents
to feel welcomed. Because of them,
we now have a vibrant, active group
of residents and an enviable sense of
identity as a community.
The second group of residents moving here during the next few years may
have experienced a sense they weren’t
needed so much, since much was already done. The committees were in
place, events were happening, communication was abundant, sport teams and
performance groups were established.
Perceiving their talents could be spread
beyond our immediate community,
many of this group volunteered their
time in local clubs, libraries, churches,
and hospitals.
The next group moving here (from
2007) experienced inclusion more so
than group two. Many in the first group
had run their course and were ready
to step down, and of course, those in
the first group were ten years older
than when they arrived. Group three
became involved, much like the first
group.
Moving Forward
Our Association (6800 homes and
about 12,000 residents), has come
full-circle. It’s been ten plus successful years since we began moving into
Lincoln Hills. While we look to our

Aching All Over?
Coping with Fibromyalgia and
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Shirley Schultz
In keeping with the theme “Aging
is Normal,” one must ask if pain is a
normal part of aging. The answer is
probably “Yes” and “No.”
People who hurt all over
and feel exhausted most of
the time may have a difficult time finding out what
is causing their symptoms
and an even more difficult
time obtaining relief. According to a recent report from Johns
Hopkins, it is estimated that five million Americans suffer from this condition, the majority of whom are women.
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS), which
often includes fatigue, is sometimes
used synonymously with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), but there are
distinguishing features to each diagnosis. FMS is a chronic condition involving
widespread pain in the muscles, liga-
opportunity, and our actions can often
fend off this unwanted event. Several
of these burglaries, or attempted burglaries, occurred while the residents
were in their unlocked homes and one
involved stealing a garage door opener
from an unlocked car at KS. Another
incident involved a locked car with a
purse in full view on the front seat.
Jewelry is a prime target, so be smart
and locate a safe place for it!
“Bother us! We need your leads!”
said Lincoln’s Police Chief Joe Neves,
encouraging residents to call if something in the neighborhood does not
look or feel right. For instance, a typical
burglar might ring the doorbell to see
if anyone is home, and then claim to
have the wrong house number. Chief
Neves assured us that all calls to the
police are carefully checked out, but
they will generally not report back to
you unless you request it.
If your home is burglarized, call
ments, and tendons rather than in the
joints, as is the case in arthritis. CFS is
a condition of prolonged severe fatigue
that is not relieved by rest and is not
directly caused by other conditions.
The American College of Rheumatology has diagnostic criteria for
determining if a person has Fibromyalgia. These criteria include but are
by no means limited to the fact that
the pain must be on both sides of the
body and above and below the waist,
and typically there are tender points
to firm pressure in specific body areas.
Many people with FMS have co-existing
conditions such as depression, fatigue,
headaches, irritable bowel syndrome,
lupus, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, restless leg syndrome, or post
traumatic stress disorder.
While the exact cause of CFS is
unknown, it is thought by some to
be caused by the Epstein-Barr virus
or human herpes virus-6. The Centers
for Disease Control (CDC) describes
CFS as a distinct disorder with specific

Aviation
During World War II, the U.S. military
was racially segregated, reflecting American society and law at the time. Most
black soldiers and sailors were restricted
to labor battalions and other support
positions. A series of legislative moves
by the US Congress in 1941 forced the
Army Air Corps to form an all-black
aviation combat unit, despite the War
Department’s reluctance. The experiment, however, showed that given equal
opportunity and training, AfricanAmericans could fly in, command and
support combat units as well as anyone.
The Army Air Corp’s black fliers, the
so-called “Tuskegee Airmen,” served
with distinction in combat and directly
contributed to the eventual integration
of the US armed services.

our season was Team 12, Margo & Marv
Zamba and Terri & Paul Krcha. If there

Fishing reports from members have been scarce this past
month or so, probably due to cold
weather and many lakes and rivers
running high and muddy resulting from
heavy rain and snow in December and
January. With warming temperatures

water from runoff. However, that will
settle down and we look forward to a

also recently performed for the Super

is recommended that the dancer have
a minimum of a Line Dance II background.

Pickleball
•
What’s a ladder league?
Its objective is simple: to get people
of similar ability playing together for
better competition and more fun. The
ladder also motivates players who want
to improve their skill with the possibility of climbing higher.
Each week ladder members play
three games with the three players
closest to them on the ladder. Ladder
position is determined by the percentage of possible points over the past ten
matches. There’s no penalty for missing
a match, and extra high or low scores
are buffered by restricting ladder movement to 25% of ladder size.
If regular weekly play, competitive
games, intensity, and fun appeal to you,
sign up for the club’s ladder league
online.
To learn more about Pickleball, onehour orientation sessions are scheduled
Wednesdays and Saturdays, 1:00 PM.
Equipment is provided, and an hour of
open play with others in the orientation
follows. Article by Jim Westby.

Our Group is saddened
by the passing of one of our favorite
members, Harry Cornwall. Harry usually
read a chapter from one of his three autobiographical novels and would draw
us into his past. An engineer, inventor,
poet, and songwriter, he could recount
every detail along the way. He gave
many of us the inspiration to tell our
stories, unafraid to recount the trivial
and the triumphant. The members of

over and do it for you. Handy Helpers are ready to
help you with a number of other routine household

born. As with other beginner classes, this class teaches line dance fundamentals including grapevine, jazz
box shuffle, quarter and half turns
